Final: Blues vs Crusaders
-
The scrum battle will be intriguing. Laulala vs Bower in the clash of two ABs, but I am more interested in Hodgman vs Jager. Jager got dominated by Ross so let's see how Hodgman goes in comparison.

This game really feels like a case of good vs evil.
The Blues, the plucky but positive underdogs trying to do something good for NZ rugby and the world as a whole vs the cold, calculating and ruthlessly efficient Crusaders determined to preserve the status quo and crush all dissent. (much like Communist China)
WHAT????
The team from New Zealand's largest and richest city, that has plundered the cream of the nation's coaching and playing stocks - playing in their home stadium against a bunch of poor boys from the back blocks - in a competition where 26 teams have consecutively won their home matches.
It will be an undoubted crushing of the Southerners, unless...unless....one man.... can stand for all of us...
What do you mean, Flash Jordan approaching....

I admire the irony.

I have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, being a Sader supporter, I want the Saders to win. But, and I feel very dirty for admitting this, I wouldn't mind seeing the Blues get up. Blues have a number of players that I am hoping will help turn the ABs around and if they don't win I will find it a tad disconcerting.

Sounds like COVID brain to me.
Win at all costs. I won’t care if it’s 3-0 as long as the 3 is from the good guys in red n black.

"Whoever wins will have to play 80 minutes," Deans told 1News in Sydney. "That will probably be the Blues' challenge because they know every little lapse that they have, the Crusaders will persecute them."Robbie the Crusaders have rebranded and are trying to move away from links to persecution......

They tried back in the day with the Auckland Superdome. I think the pitch will be fine
